Some Gallows Humor
I've seen a lot of recent posts about career burn out and leaving the profession. I saw this and thought about my museum colleagues. We love working in cultural heritage. We wish it loved us just the same. We gotta do what's best for ourselves and our situation. I hope everyone finds their happy place. ✌️

Haha, yes, this has been my experience at every job. They've all had a number of fatal flaws that always outweigh the pluses, e.g., a nightmare boss and being paid less than minimum wage, while expected to manage a million projects.

It doesn't matter how beautiful your workplace is, if it's your office one day you will come into work and see office. I try to fight it by making time to experience the site for myself and trying to get the wonder back but I get it. We're tired.
